• Serve as the primary liaison between Business, Functional, and Technology teams to ensure data quality and protection requirements are incorporated into operational priorities.
• Develop and maintain an inventory of enterprise information maps, including authoritative systems, data owners, data catalog entries, and lineage documentation.

• Define and monitor key performance indicators and quality metrics; produce progress reports for leadership and provide periodic updates to the data governance committee.
• Facilitate the Data Governance Council — a cross-functional forum spanning Technology, Merchandising, Marketing, Finance, and Operations — to ratify standards and resolve data domain disputes.
• Stay current on relevant regulations, industry trends, and emerging data governance frameworks; assess applicability and integrate requirements into existing policies and practices.
• Partner with peer teams across Technology, Risk, Business, and Information Security to align data management priorities and risk controls, championing a culture of data stewardship throughout the organization.

Qualifications and Skills Required:

• 3–5 years of experience in data governance, data management, or a related field; demonstrated ability to operate with ownership and drive results in ambiguous, early-stage program environments.

• Familiarity with data governance frameworks and working knowledge of relevant regulatory requirements and emerging trends in data management and protection.
• Demonstrated ability to influence cross-functional stakeholders and drive adoption of governance standards, policies, and change management initiatives.
• Familiarity with data governance and cataloging tools (e.g., Collibra, Atlan, or similar) and modern cloud data platforms such as Snowflake or Databricks a plus.
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills with the ability to translate complex data issues into clear, actionable recommendations for both technical and non-technical audiences.
• Experience in retail, specialty retail, or a similar consumer-facing industry preferred.
• Knowledge of data risk architecture and technology solutions; familiarity with data risk and control frameworks a plus.
